Joycobal AT Tablet is used to manage neuropathic pain due to damaged nerves. Neuropathic pain is pain caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system. The pain could be intermittent or continuous, like a prickling, stabbing, tingling, or burning sensation.
Joycobal AT Tablet is a combination of two drugs: Amitriptyline and Methylcobalamin. Amitriptyline belongs to a class of medications known as tricyclic antidepressants, and it works by boosting serotonin levels in the brain. This can make you feel better. This can also alter how your nerves receive pain signals, causing pain to subside. Methylcobalamin is a vitamin B derivative that promotes the synthesis of myelin, which protects nerve fibres and rejuvenates injured nerve cells. They work together to alleviate neuropathic pain (pain from damaged nerves).
